Many children, many blessings; the story begins with revenge against the beautiful boss.

As the light faded, Cao Kun eagerly examined the items he had acquired.

A simple, antique-looking compass appeared in his hand. It was small, about the size of a palm, making it easy to carry around.

This celestial compass is bronze in color, and its surface is engraved with exquisite Tai Chi Bagua patterns.

A crystal-clear jade bead is inlaid in the center as a pointer, and fine gold runes surround it, emitting a faint light.

The compass is engraved with the seal script inscription "Heavenly secrets can be predicted, and one's fortune can be known by oneself." Its exquisite design is both elegant and grand, making it a refined decorative piece when placed on a table.

[Celestial Compass (Gold): Allows for divination every five days, revealing auspicious and inauspicious events and providing insights into celestial secrets]

There is also a note next to it: If jade is added, it can enhance the compass's predictive accuracy or unlock special guidance for seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune.

Cao Kun's face lit up with joy: With this Heavenly Compass, he could have complete control over his fortune!

The system's rewards will eventually run out, but this compass can provide guidance day after day.

Although it can only be used once every five days, adding jade can enhance its effects.

As for the blue item "Long-lasting Fate" in the inventory, Cao Kun tried it, but the system did not allow him to equip the same item twice.

However, once he collects another blue entry, he can upgrade to a purple entry, which Cao Kun is quite looking forward to.

As for the purple pill, the "Turtle Breath Pill," it seems to have no practical use.

After thinking it over, Cao Kun realized there was no reason for him to fake his death, so he simply left it in his inventory.

The afternoon arrived quickly, and Tianhuan New Materials maintained its strong momentum, remaining locked at the daily limit until the market closed.

With a solid 20% gain today, Cao Kun's net worth has skyrocketed.

After greeting Su Yue, Cao Kun leisurely returned to the Magnificent Garden, carrying the Dragon-Tiger Pill Furnace.

……

Time passed, and it was 4:55 PM.

In the Kunlun Trading office, all the employees looked at each other, feeling a little uneasy: Was the attendance system that General Manager Su announced this morning really true?

Kunlun Trading's attendance system originally ran from 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM, with a 1.5-hour lunch break, and from 1:30 PM to 5:30 PM.

It's similar to other companies in the Pearl Building.

However, given the current poor economic climate, overtime has become the norm, and companies that allow employees to leave work at 5:30 pm sharp are almost extinct.

Leaving get off work half an hour early means being able to leave at 5 p.m. sharp, which is like a pipe dream for most employees.

At 4:58, Su Yue hurried out of the general manager's office. Seeing the employees still standing at their desks, she frowned and said:

"Why aren't you leaving yet? Are you planning to work overtime intentionally?"

The crowd erupted in uproar.

As if struck by a revelation, they quickly packed their backpacks and handbags, their faces filled with incredulous smiles, and filed out of the company.

As they stepped out of the Pearl Building, the setting sun cast its rays on the streets, making the employees feel that the sky was bluer, the water greener, and even the birdsong by the roadside sounded exceptionally clear.

Most importantly, it wasn't rush hour yet, and the subway and buses were sparsely populated, so there was no need to squeeze in. It was incredibly comfortable.

When Xiao Zhang, an employee, opened the door, his wife Xiao Li was taken aback: "Why are you home so early today?"

Her expression changed, and she asked worriedly, "Is the new company...not very good?"

Xiaoli even suspected he had been fired on his first day, and quickly comforted him:

"It's okay. If this company isn't working out, we'll just find another one. The kids are all grown up now. At worst, I'll go out and do some odd jobs, and our family can still make ends meet."

Xiao Zhang patted her hand and explained with a smile:

"You're overthinking it! The boss announced a new rule today: start work half an hour later, leave half an hour earlier, salary remains the same, and no overtime allowed!"

"I've thought it all out. I won't have to work overtime anymore, so I can spend more time with you and our son."

Xiaoli was stunned, incredulous: "Are you kidding me? What kind of boss is that good? These days, you're lucky if your boss doesn't force you to work overtime!"

Xiao Zhang laughed heartily, his eyes brimming with enthusiasm: "That's why I have to work even harder! The better the company's business gets, the longer I can stay!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoli's eyes lit up, and she grasped his hand: "Honey, keep it up! You must do your best!"

Hearing the commotion, the youngest son ran over, waving his little fist and shouting in his childish voice, "Go, Daddy! Do your best!"

The family of three hugged each other, laughing heartily, filling the house with a long-lost warmth.

……

Back at the Magnificent Garden, Cao Kun went straight into his bedroom.

This room was originally the home theater of the villa, with an area of ​​about 70 or 80 square meters.

The walls are covered with soundproofing cotton, so even if you shout loudly inside, you won't hear a sound outside.

Cao Kun converted it into his own bedroom and specially purchased a three-meter stainless steel bed.

This bed is spacious enough to comfortably fit five or six adults, making it very practical.

At this moment, the room was filled with many different kinds of jade, radiating a faint, warm luster.

These were all items that Cao Kun had instructed Su Yue to purchase before he left, and they were neatly piled on the table.

Cao Kun closed the door, took the palm-sized bronze compass in his hand, and carefully stroked it.

The Tai Chi Bagua pattern gleamed faintly under the light. He casually picked out a few ordinary jade stones and placed them on the compass.

The jade disappeared instantly, and a system notification appeared immediately:

[Celestial Compass: Detected input of ordinary jade, prediction accuracy improved, fortune guidance adds 'auspicious' suggestions]

Cao Kun nodded in satisfaction: "Not bad, Qu Ji's suggestion came in handy."

He selected a few more pieces of jade and placed them on the table. The system prompted him again:

[Celestial Compass: Intermediate-grade jade has been detected, significantly improving prediction accuracy. The fortune guidance now includes a 'avoid misfortune' warning.]

A hint of excitement flashed in Cao Kun's eyes. This compass was indeed something special; the higher the grade of the jade, the stronger its function!

He immediately tried putting all kinds of jade stones in the room into it. After a while, the entire compass emitted a yellow light, and there was no reaction when he placed jade stones in it.

[The Celestial Compass: The jade is full and operating at full capacity. Each fortune reading includes 'seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune' and 'astrological analysis'.]

Cao Kun looked enlightened; after the experiment, he had figured out the compass's pattern.

Ordinary jade, such as green jade and serpentine jade, can only improve the accuracy of predictions and add simple "auspicious" suggestions.

Mid-grade jade, such as Hetian jade and tourmaline, can unlock "avoiding misfortune" warnings.

Only top-grade jade, such as fine jadeite and mutton fat jade, can enable a compass to achieve the highest accuracy.

At this point, the Tianji Compass can provide complete functions for "seeking good fortune and avoiding misfortune" and "fortune-telling".

The accurate daily fortune guidance is enough to help Cao Kun avoid harm and gain advantages in business and life, and even turn the tide.

Normally, a single accurate fortune telling would be worth a huge price to pay for.

With the Heavenly Compass, Cao Kun essentially gained a continuous stream of opportunities.

After a moment's thought, Cao Kun immediately decided to have Su Yue focus on purchasing top-quality jade.

Especially for top-quality jadeite and mutton fat jade, we strive to maintain the compass's highest efficiency.
